GENE ARRAY FACILITYGOALThe long-term and continuing goal of the SCCPRR Gene Array Facility is to provide high quality, statisticallyrobust gene expression data sets to members of the Specialized Cooperative Centers Program inReproductive Research, the National Cooperative Program for Infertility Research, the CooperativeReproductive Science Research Centers at Minority Institutions, and the Contraceptive Development Center.We believe the maintenance of an autonomous gene array facility specifically serving the NICHD reproductiveresearch community is valuable for the following reasons: a) it allows overall costs of gene array analysis (fromreceipt of RNA to finished report) to be dramatically reduced, encouraging broad use of this new technology,and b) it allows us to provide critical support in the areas of experimental design, quality control, statisticalanalysis, and interpretation of biological significance.
